Name: Quake
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 4mm Titanium/Vanadium alloy all over, including removable skirts.
Speed: 18mph
Shape: Low invertible box with a set of pincers on the front, a lot like Big Nipper.
Weapon 1: A cam powered shaker, designed to shake the electronics of the opponents loose. The shaker can also lift robots into the air.
Strengths: Unique weaponry. Good manoeuvrability and pushing power.
Weaknesses: Not sure on effectiveness of weaponry. High ground clearance all over.
Ground Clearance: 7mm all over without skirts, 0mm with skirts.
Srimech: Invertible
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 S28-400 MagMotors running at 24v, which gives 18mph top speed. The two front wheels are joined to the two back wheels by a heavy duty rubber belt, giving good manoeuvrability and pushing power. The armouring is 4mm Ti/V alloy panelling, which a 12mm thick Aluminium box chassis. The pincers on the front of the robot are powered by low pressure hydraulics, and are designed to clamp a robot, and not specifically damage them. The damage comes from the cam powered shaker, from which the design has been taken from the Model 4800 Tree Shaker, seen in an episode of Mean Machines. The way this causes damage is by using the cam to send the pincers shaking side to side very VERY quickly, a very short distance (only 1 inch each way). The momentum generated and the force of the shaking should cause some electronics or the removable link in a competitor to fall out or loosen. Also, the fact we can lift a robot in the air means we can carry them anywhere in the arena, whilst shaking them.
